What Causes Constipation And Stomach Ache?

Husband has been constipated for last 3 days and last night he said it hurt when he urinated. Called to check on him just a few minutes ago and he said he no longer feels like he is constipated but his stomach hurts to much to stand up for very long.

Hi,

As per your query you are having symptoms of constipation and stomach ache which could be due to many reasons such as
- Due to decreased gastric motility
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease
-Inadequate intake of fluids and fiber-rich diet
-Some medications like antidepressants, acidity and certain conditions like hypothyroidism.
- Irritable bowel syndrome

Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of sharp, spicy and hot food substances. I would suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon, barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. You should start with drinking a lot of water, do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. Doctor may prescribe fiber supplement, osmotic laxatives, stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
